The rest is just noise

Chapter 476: It’s so long ago that it seems like it happened a lifetime ago

Since last season, the Knicks' big wins have had one characteristic.

The more you win, the more you win, the more you win, the more you win.

Because Louis usually doesn't substitute players who are in hot form.

If one of his players performs very well, he may let that player play until he doesn't want to play anymore.

This increases the probability of tragedy occurring.

Secondly, the Knicks' lineup is very deep. Once the main force is gone, the substitutes may not be as strong as the main force, but they can definitely beat the opponent's second team. Sometimes, their second team can compete with the opponent's main force.

There has to be a back-and-forth, and tonight's game is an example of that.

In the second quarter, Louis used one senior and four juniors to beat the Pistons' four seniors and one junior. Not only did he not have a disadvantage, but he actually had an advantage.

This makes some people unable to understand.

The Knicks' winning style was called "Broadway" by New York Post reporter Ander Gordon.

"Little Lu, regarding tonight's Broadway-style victory, what do you think the Knicks did best?"

Louis asked with certainty and doubt: "Did the ball go in?"

This was a cold joke, and everyone around laughed.

Louis glanced at Ewing with satisfaction to let him know how to say the bad joke.

The most watched player today is naturally Brad Rohaus.

A second-round pick scored 49 points in his debut game using long-range shots. This has never happened in the history of the Knicks, and is also rare in the history of other teams.

How come he looks like a role player, so how come he suddenly becomes the protagonist?

Louis said proudly: "He is my new Larry Bird, and he is taller and more easy-going than Larry. He will do anything I ask him to do, which Larry can't do."

of."

The practice of coaxing the current person to overstep his predecessor is not new in any industry. Everyone can tell that Louis is joking, but Luo Haos is really famous for this.

The title of Big Bird spread like wildfire.

The next day, the entire New York City knew that the Knicks had a big-name Bird.

In almost just one game, he almost replaced Song Tao's entertainment.

After all, this is New York, and fans love the new and hate the old faster than the movie fans. Utsunomiya Shion, who has just debuted, can meet all the needs of the Huns, which is unique. Song Tao and Luo Haos are sought after because they look

His strength is mediocre, but he has made some contributions on the field.

Now Song Tao is still preparing for the Asian Championships, but Luo Haosi has already attracted the attention of the whole city in his debut.

Louis was not worried that Luo Haosi would conflict with Song Tao's position.

As tonight's game showed, Luo Haos doesn't necessarily have to play inside.

Sometimes, Louis can let him play small forward or shooting guard. As long as his touch can support him to shoot the ball, it doesn't matter where he is, since he doesn't defend any position anyway.

If the game comes to a life-and-death moment in the future, Louis will need someone to open up space for Wilson or McHale's singles. Space points like Luo Haos are crucial, so he will be very unrestrained in his use of Luo Haos.

Sometimes he just asks Luo Haos to come up and create some show effects, and then go down if he doesn't feel good. Sometimes he uses him as a human victory cigar, and sometimes he uses him as a punching bag to scare the monkeys. This bitch seems to have many uses, and only needs one time.

It's really worth it to get it in one round.

Back in the locker room, Luo Haos was baptized with ice water by his teammates.

He was very cooperative and let them ravage him with open hands.

Rohaus looks so much like Matt Bonner.

Louis didn't expect that he would fall in love with this rookie after just one game.

That night, the Knicks returned to the hotel.

Louie received two phone calls, one from Dale Ellis.

He expressed his apology.

"The only thing you have to do now is to recover from your injuries. Don't think about anything else." Louis was still angry and didn't criticize him too much on the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Louis' thoughts turned to what would happen after Ellis' comeback.

Good shooters are rare in any era.

What is even rarer is a shooter with a big heart.

There are only a few in each era, and even in the small ball era when sharpshooters were blowing out, there were not many impressive killers. Ellis and Miller are the two people Louis has been comparing recently.

At this stage, Miller is not as good as Ellis.

After all, Ellis has been the top scorer for five seasons and has proven himself in key games. He is the kind of key killer who is trustworthy.

Miller doesn't need to prove himself. Louis knows that his ceiling is far higher than Ellis, so he is troubled.

Two sharpshooters with killer mentality came to the Knicks at the same time. How to balance their positions?

One thing is destined, they have someone to replace them.

In the short term, the appropriate positioning is Ellis and Miller as the substitute, but that won't work over time.

Being too greedy is not enough, and the two of them must separate.

The Knicks continue their road trip, and the next stop is Indiana.

Last year, the Pacers selected a parallel import named Kenny Walker. This person is like Stromire Swift, the third overall pick in 2000. In terms of physical fitness alone, he is definitely a once-in-five-year or even ten-year player.

A first-in-class level.

The perfect swingman height of 203cm, seems to have great jumping ability and unparalleled coordination. He can do any action, but he can't play basketball.

He is a forgotten figure, the first performer in the 1980s to perform dunking, because someone who can only dunk but not play basketball is not easy to get along in the NBA of any era.

The same goes for him. It only took one season for the Pacers to determine that he was a parallel import and sell him everywhere. The asking price was just an ordinary player + a second-round pick.

Louis originally had some thoughts about him, but after playing the game against the Pacers, he thought it would be better not to have any wrong thoughts.

Walker's talent is undoubtedly very good, but he has absolutely no chance of fulfilling his talent.

In this game, the Pacers' rookie Horace Grant performed well. He gave this team a glimmer of hope.

Oh, and Reggie Miller scored 21 points against the Pacers in a Knicks uniform.

That feeling is very abstract anyway.

Louis thinks he will probably go to hell in the next life because he changed the fate of too many teams.

Magician/Tragedian;

The Bulls lost G.O.A.T/The Trail Blazers lost Sabo Bowie and the opportunity to be infamous forever/Bowe missed the opportunity to be forever remembered by NBA fans;

The Pistons without Thomas, Laimbeer, Rodman, Salley, John Long, and Vinyl Johnson;

James Worthy, why are you with the Pistons;?

Why did Scott Pippen and David Robinson go to the Lakers?

Wilkins, are you in San Antonio?

This "northwest of Shanxi" was really turned into a mess by Louis himself.

Next, play against the Eagles.

Most of the players on this Hawks team are there, Webber transferred to the 76ers, Kevin Willis is climbing towards his peak, Doc Rivers is also there, but there is no leader Dominic Wilkins.

The same team would be completely different without one individual.

The Knicks were extremely ruthless, scoring 138 points in a single game and defeating the Hawks by 35 points.

Benjamin Wilson scored 50 points and 7 rebounds in 30 minutes. This was his first 50-point game this season.

In his second year, Wilson's statistics have improved significantly compared to his rookie season.

He is currently averaging 24 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists per game. Just looking at the data, he is already an all-around wing. This is achieved even though the Knicks have many scoring points, scattered shots, and only have 31 minutes of playing time.

Wilson's most underrated statistics are steals and blocks.

He averaged 2.2 steals, 1.7 blocks and 3.9 blocks per game, which is very valuable for a wing. This is Kirilenko-like data.

What's more valuable is that his shot-grabbing numbers are good, but he is not the superficial mirror image of Dr. J. Wilson has good defensive habits and outstanding defensive awareness. Although his defensive skills need to be strengthened, he already has the awareness to improve.

.

Louis seemed to see a superstar like Jordan who was a scoring champion + defensive team with both offense and defense.

The fifth game is very interesting.

In the offseason, the Spurs acquired Dominique Wilkins, so they let go of Bernard King, who plays the same position and plays the same style.

The New York King was immediately signed by the Washington Bullets.

Now in the meeting, Jin brought the bullets that have always restrained the Knicks, and the two sides played overtime.

In the end, the game was won by John Stockton's three-pointer.

When the ball went in, the entire Madison Square Garden was shaking, and Stockton's usual poker face also smiled.

Bernard King scored 30 points. After recovering from a stress fracture, he can still average 20 points per game in the NBA.

Looking at the Knicks opposite, it is only three or four years since his era, but too many changes have already taken place.

All the players he was familiar with disappeared, and the only one he knew was Stockton.

"Hats off to Bernard King. Before Little Lou came, we could always see him scoring 30 points and 40 points to win us games!" Marv Albert shouted.

New Yorkers cheered for their old king.

Jin sighed, he was once really the king of New York City, making countless people crazy about him, making him feel that the world was in his hands, making him arrogant, and he was so proud that he refused to cooperate with Louis during the All-Starting Weekend.

He and Louis became enemies because of this, and he never imagined that Louis would soon become his coach, that he would lose a year's salary because of stupidity, and then completely change his career due to a stress fracture.

These people cheering for him are still enthusiastic.

But he's no longer a Knick.

Looking back, it was only last year that he was traded, but the days of wearing a Knicks jersey and playing for Apple City seemed as long ago as a lifetime ago.
